    Make a
    Viewfinder Frame
    Construct a viewfinder frame to help you choose
    ideal compositions for your drawings

    Resource: 4.1.R1 How to Use a Viewfinder Frame


    Supplies: acid-free matboard or cardboard of any size, utility knife, ruler, two large
    paper clips

    1. Use a ruler and a utility knife to cut two identical L-shaped


    pieces of matboard (or cardboard).
    Each L-shaped piece of matboard needs to be cut perfectly
    square (Figure 1).
    Keep in mind that the wider your frame, the easier it will be to
    block unwanted objects from your view.

    Tip!
    When buying
    matboard or
    cardboard,
    choose a neutral
    color rather than
    a bright one. A
    brightly-colored
    frame will distract
    from the view
    inside.

    2. Use two large


    paper clips to join
    the two pieces
    together to form a
    frame (Figure 2).

    Figure 2

    Simply loosen the


    paper clips and
    adjust the L-shaped
    pieces to the shape
    and size you want.
    You can turn your
    viewfinder to either
    a vertical (portrait)
    drawing format as
    shown in Figure
    2, or a horizontal
    (landscape) drawing
    format

    Tip!
    Consider making three or four viewfinders in different sizes:
    Small ones are great for planning compositions from
    photos.
    Large ones are ideal for planning compositions from
    your studio or in the great outdoors.
